This problem structure allows you to more accurately assess student knowledge by having them independently evaluate multiple statements or facets of a problem, and grade them according to their knowledge level. This is in contrast to the current, all-or-nothing multiple choice format where students choose between predetermined combinations of correct or incorrect answer choices.
2. How are these items graded?
For each multiple selection item you will assign a certain number of answer choices as correct (N). For each of the correct items selected by the student, they will receive a fractional score of the available points. As an example, if an item is worth 10 points and there are ten total choices or which four are correct options (N=4), then each correct answer is worth 2.5 points. Students will lose half of this amount for each incorrect answer selected. So if a student selects 3 correct options and 1 incorrect option they get (10/N)*3 – 0.5*(10/N)*1 = 6.25 points.
